Dear Anna and al other family Members. David has always held a special place in my heart. He and Anna used to visit with us frequently when they did a bit more traveling to the U.S. We have many happy memories from their visits. My Dear Nephew David, May you rest in peace. Quite a while ago a special verse came to me while I was playing on the computer. It was so strong that I felt the need to write it down. I would like to share it with Anna & the family. It goes like this. There are no words of comfort as you pass through your time of grief. A most precious gift once given to you is now deceased. Hold tight to precious memories, recall them at your will. For it's those precious memories that slowly help you heal. Please know that you all share our Love and Prayers . May God continue to bless each and every one of you. I love you all. Aunty Eleanor.
